Two more work days, then off to the wilderness for a week or so. No cell coverage, no wifi. It's going to be fantastic.

Now go do a burnout in front of the local PoPo, to prove your worthy.

That's exactly what you DON'T need to do, and you have nothing to prove.

For sure you don't want to do that. I did some stupid things in my younger days and ended up with my insurance payments more than my car payment.

You don't even need to do something stupid, you just need to be young.

One of my staff is 22 years old. She just bought a 2017 Nissan Sentra. She pays just under $200 CDN bi-weekly and her insurance is $553 per month. Clean license, no violations or accidents.

Something is really wrong with the insurance companies when your insurance is higher than your car payment.

Well over 6 grand a year for insurance ? Time to get a bicycle.

At those insurance prices, the bicycle seems to be the better alternative.

I was in the insurance racket for a bit over 25 years, which doesn't mean much other than I have seen a few things.  When a car insurance premium is this high for a rather vanilla car, it is a good indicator that something else is going on.  Usually it's a husband or wife, boyfriend or girlfriend who is in the picture and this person has a terrible driving record or really bad credit. 

If there is nothing going on behind the scenes, she should really shop her coverage.

Vacation!   When your view is this....

And all you can think about is THIS....    

[High octane]

When I get away on vacation, I don't think about cars or model cars and I don't bring any model or car magazines with either. Of course while away, a pretty or old car will still turn my head.

Johnny Holt's (OldTrucker) post of his beautiful '31 Cadillac prompted me to go back and look at the one I posted in 2015. This posting in my thread made my day.

It pleased me today to take my ride out for a "spin" this morning and attend a Car & Coffee event. Good way to start the Saturday for me.

Congrats Bob and I hope that your survival continues at least 'till you get all your models built and a few more along the way. I too am grateful for each and every day for a lot of reasons.

I got my v twin mounted in my tractor puller today. When from a 12hp single to a 20hp v twin. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it wired up.

Im hoping that it will look something like this when it is completely finished.

[bobthehobbyguy]
